Read synopsis

I am not usually a massive lover of Sci-fi unless there's a specific synopsis that intrigues me enough to pick it up and this one did! Thankfully, I wasn't let down at all. I really enjoyed the way the story was told and how it was carried out throughout the novel. It is a very unique Alien invasion story, I feel as though any media I've experienced regarding this theme has always followed a very similar narrative and I was relieved to find that this book in particular took on a fresh, new plot that I've not experienced many times. I enjoyed the moral discussions throughout which went much deeper than I would have ever expected. There was some handling of deeper topics and whilst that is harder to read, it is very realistic. These are things that would come about and need to be discussed, should an Alien Invasion have really happened and for that reason I felt completely sucked into this story and I was engrossed until the end.

As I said I am not a well-versed sci-fi reader, I have always struggled with them and often find myself confused so I love when I find an accessible for people unfamiliar or new to a genre. I think this book wouldn't be best as your first ever sci-fi novel. It's a little bit intricate and complex at times but I would say that it is beginner friendly and actually is an intricate blend of genres not just one. The explanations to the methods used are explained well and there isn't an over abundance of complex terminology which is what I usually struggle with.

I loved the topic in this one and would be interested in seeing what this author comes up with next because I definitely gel really well with their style!
